    Sing on the bank holiday weekend

     

    Switch off the classic music, pop and rock are too noisy, and Jazz becomes the music of the day. Somehow, the smoothness reminds me of my stay in the luxury hotel in India. But back in London, life returns to normal, still in the tiny room in Waterloo. I know luxury life will not come until a few more years’ hard work.

     

    Meanwhile, surprisingly, I get my first bank holiday weekend free, after one whole year with the bank. No more complains, life is good for an A2 at the moment, when the market is down, not for long…

     

    An impulse to buy a proper coffee from an Italian chain, and with some weekend magazine, and then a lazy afternoon in a park, and wonder which theatre shall I go this evening. Or finish off the War and Peace? Still it is a too ambitious project for a three-day weekend. Even just one year after school, I realized sometimes a step back is a step forward.

     

    Celebration, for the pleasure of a short but sweet quiet and lazy weekend!

    Hail to Internet

    Hail to Internet!

     

    After one-year goodbye to Internet, I finally regained connection to the world. I do not want to waste one more minute to tell the world that I am back.

     

    When you are in the dark, you cherish the light of one little candle. When I am disconnected from the world, I appreciate the even slow connection through mobile Sim-card. Were we less greedy, how nice all of us would be.

     

    No need to say that there is no big-size download. Even worse, I cannot access company specific connections due to limited Internet connection and a five-year old computer. Still, I sing the happiness in the mid of night and forget all the worries about the presentation due this week for a super-size conglomerate. Ah, happiness sometimes can be just that simple.

     

    So in the very near future, I can browse the CFA course material during weekends, reading some novels on line (I always read electronic versions quicker, hopefully I can finish War and Peace by this winter) and of course, visit the MSN as often as possible. Forget the current fever of Facebook, I still enjoy all the links in Space that collects my dear high school mates and university friends. Look out, all of you, be prepared to be disturbed.

     

    Hail to the Internet - a small connection that link the bigger world together!
